Show Notes
It seems surreal that McGregor is actually just hours away from making the walk to the octagon considering the events of the past five years. McGregor’s activity had already fallen off a cliff for various reasons by the time he fought Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021—just McGregor’s fifth fight since 2016 (including a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather)—but the broken leg he suffered that loss signaled the start of a seemingly interminable layoff that had no shortage of diversions.
Fast forward to the now, and somehow, McGregor has returned. He takes on a familiar face, Max Holloway, who lost to a pre-fame McGregor back in 2013 when the two were budding featherweights with their whole lives ahead of them. Thirteen years later, both fighters have piled up championships, and packed on a few pounds for their rematch at welterweight. Saturday’s main event is the second-to-last fight on McGregor’s current contract. Win or lose, it’s anyone’s guess what he decides to do for his UFC swan song, not to mention his plans for unrestricted free agency (though a BKFC fight is all but guaranteed).
